Sure you'll love it. Got mine for X-mas, shot 420 rnds thru it and no problems with the gun, had to adjust my grip/trigger finger placement and grouping came in nicely. BTW your from my hometown, how much snow you guys got now.

Congrats on the 1911 Jeff! I've been wanting one. Dunno which brand yet. I'll figure it out when I'm actually in the market.

Anyway congrats again.

By the way, I thought your wife didn't want you to get another gun right now? Someone's pretty persuasive huh? You sly dog you.

If this is the first time you've read this, up until now you think I typed this out in response to this thread. Well, the jokes on you. This is my signature line. Know it, embrace it, love it.

lmao actually when i picked her up and she saw it she flipped out. but i gave her 1100$ towards a car and she only owes another 100 so yea... she did smack me with my gun when i got home lol my jaw still hurts. and to be honest if i would have had the extra 400$ i would have gotten the remington r1 enhanced so when your in the market seriously consider the remington in your choices.

Hahah. Well. I hope it all works out for you. I have a sneaking suspicion everything will be ok (if it isn't already) when she shoots it.

colt has been having some major issues lately. id think twice about them. i have heard of some small issues like more FTF and FTE's with them as well as just a lower quality than they should have. i took all that with a grain of salt but it does make me wonder. anyway im sure it will be fine once i get it broken in and she gets a chance to shoot it.

i happen to have the R1 Enhanced and absolutely love it! i highly recommend it for someone looking for a good quality 1911 that shoots great right out the box.

I cant wait to get to the range tomorrow once i shoot it ill know if i can trust it. Eiather way a dream was realized today and im happy just to own one.

One trip to the range will not tell you if you can trust it. It may take a few rounds to break it in. I suggest at least 200 to 300. You also want it well lubricated, but not to the point of dripping oil down your pants leg.

I said it may take a few rounds. My Sig worked right out of the box and never missed a beat. I have not been that lucky with some other 1911s, but they shaped up and worked great after a couple hundred rounds. Then there was the Kimber.
